A classic sandwich gets a delicious updating. Grilled until golden and filled with avocado, chicken and cheese, this looks great on the plate served with a refreshing fruit salsa.

24 slices firm white sandwich bread
6 California avocados, sliced
48 1-oz. slices roasted chicken or turkey
24 1-oz. slices jalapeño Jack cheese

1 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
Unsalted butter, as needed
3 cups fresh fruit salsa
12 fresh cilantro sprigs
 

Steps
